Samona’s wife says she breastfed 3 babies from other women, yet he’s rejected hers

Nantume insists, however, that Samona has always known the two children (their first and last born) to be sired by other men.

She says her estranged husband knew and accepted the circumstances under which the children (both of them adults now) were produced and that he raised them and got them through school without complaints until recently.

She thinks her in-laws are behind the fight aimed at throwing her out of the home she helped build.

Nantume revealed in an interview this week that she met Samona as a young man hustling in the city. She was making crisps, while he was a vendor. 

She moved in with him when she was only 16 years old.

"He had nothing; he was helping me vend my crisps. He was also a photographer," narrated the mother of seven.

Nantume says over the years she hustled with Samona, and the two built the cosmetics empire together to where it is today.

In the first 10 years, they rented in the city, but later they moved to his ancestral home in Mpigi, where they built the two-story house that she’s lived in for the last 24 years.

Days ago, however, Samona and some of his family members threw her out of the house, accusing her of promiscuity.

Samona claimed that he had recently run DNA tests on all 25 of his children from all his wives and found that only 15 were his.

After being violently removed from her house, Nantume rushed to court last week on June 27 and secured an order reinstating her back at the Mpigi home, pending the disposal of the main case.

Commenting about promiscuity accusations, Nantume wondered why Samona has turned against her yet she helped raise his own children, including breastfeeding three of them as her own.

Nantume is known as Nalongo (mother of twins), even though she never produced twins. She says she got this name because shortly after giving birth to one of her children, Samona brought her another newborn from a woman he had impregnated, but she unfortunately died during chol both. 

"It was a very challenging moment; we thought of taking the baby to Sanyu Babies Home, but my mother advised me to raise that baby, and I did. I breastfed him like my own; he’s now grown up out there in the city," she said.

Years later, Nantume says her husband impregnated another woman, a student and daughter of a fellow businessman.

"I remember we had to hide him because they were hunting him down to arrest him," she said.

"After the young woman gave birth to a set of twins, her father said he wanted her daughter back to take her abroad, so they brought me the twins, aged only one month, and I had to breastfeed and raise them."

Currently, Nantume says she has given up on her marriage. She says she wants a divorce, but Samona, through his lawyers, says he can't divorce a woman he’s not officially married to.

Nantume however, says the fact that they had an introduction ceremony at her home in Masuulita, the two are technically married. 

The tycoon also says Nantume has to vacate their home because it is a family home and their burial ground.

Nantume on the other hand says she can't leave the house unless he buys her another piece of land where she can move.
